Brett
Stark and Lata Chatterji had a doomed relationship from the
start, and once it was discovered by her brother, Vikram,
she was sent away to live with an aunt. Before she went, she
bought Brett a galah that she had noticed him looking at in
the local pet shop window. Although his affections soon moved
on to Libby Kennedy, Brett cherished the bird, which he named
Dahl, and would often chat to it when nobody else in his family
had time to listen.

A
couple of years later, when Brett decided to leave Erinsborough
to go sailing around the world, he entrusted Dahl to his closest
friend, Libby. Dahl went to stay with the Kennedy family at
28 Ramsay Street where she was very happy, despite having
to live with Karl, who developed a love hate relationship
with the bird. Dahl became a firm fixture in the Kennedy household,
despite her tendency to disappear into the roof from time
to time. She even managed to live alongside Libby’s little
dog, Audrey, when she moved back home. In 2006, Dahl spent a brief period living at 26 Ramsay Street, while Susan was away in Belarus.

In 2010, the Ramsay Street residents took part in the Million Paws Walk raising money for the RSPCA, with Karl
deciding to take Dahl along in a bid to outdo neighbour, Rebecca Robinson who was walking Cat and with a $10 charge per paw, Dahl won over the pet pig,
Lennie as she was cheaper to enter. After an enjoyable walk, the residents returned to Number 22 for refreshments, where
Karl was horrified to discover the door to Dahl's cage open and Dahl gone. Karl soon began pointing the finger at Cat, but as the Kennedys returned home to mourn the loss of their longtime pet, Karl thought
he heard the sound of a Galah's call, but turning to look, Karl failed to notice Dahl perched on a nearby tree.
